    Food and coffee was ok but prices are a little bit high and the staff is super rude. They will force you to pay by cash even if you insist in paying by card. They might be avoiding taxes or something like that, otherwise it doesn’t make sense to force clients to pay with their favorite method. Wouldn’t recommend, there are a lot of better spots to have a coffee with a high quality attention in the same street. I’ve even been treated better in McDonald’s for half of the price. I’m also attaching here the picture of this arrogant waiter responsible of this review. If you insist to go, at least try to avoid him.

    It was a very crowded restaurant. Cause it is located in the middle of town. The food was good and warm. Please check in advance its status whether it is busy or not.

    Awesome location, good food and great ambient! The quality of the food was good, also decent portions and great service. The price was ok… you’re eating in a wonderful spot surrounded by beautiful landmarks and buildings so enjoy the experience! The italian waiter at the entrance of the terrace was very kind and polite. We ate here twice during our stay in Vienna and we definitely recommend it.

    This is an extremely popular cafe possibly due to its central location right outside the stephensplatz subway and very close to the cathedral. Definitely the busiest place I saw during my visit. I visited 3 times, first for breakfast and further 2 visits for ice coffee which is a desert coffee made with ice cream & whipped cream. Very good. The outside terrace is perfect on a hot day and quite atmospheric as the tables are filled constantly with folk babbling away in various different languages. There is also inside tables and an upstairs terrace plus WC in the basement. My third visit during the busiest I’d ever seen it required a wait for a table and one waiter decided to overlook my solo self and seat others who came after me. Thankfully his colleague put him right and I was seated next. If it hadn’t been deliberate I’d rate it five stars because each time the food and drinks were very enjoyable. Strangely the waiter with the selective eyesight who became my server was the only one from my 3 visits to ask for a tip. I matched his brass neck with a firm no. The staff all work extremely hard here non stop and I appreciate them and the good food and drinks.

    Update: visit it again and the stuff was really impolite, seriously I wish they work on their attitude. Also they sell umbrellas and we wanted to buy one, we were trying it, it was broken but the waiter was super rude and said: leave it then without even suggesting another umbrella. Otherwise it’s nice place. Old review: Nice place but quite busy. I don’t recommend Tiramisu Traum at all, tastes weird. Ice cream was good.

    It was really crowded. Proves how good the food was. The seatings were too close to each otvwr wasn’t really much space to move. Otherwise the food was great, we had the spaghetti, gnocchi was a bit cold and a creaser salad. And a steak meal.

    We loved it here so much we came back twice! It's busy so you may have to wait for a table upstairs but it's a short wait. The waiters are good, efficient, friendly. I LOVED the Hot Orange Punch, smooth & delicious, enough alcohol to warm you but not so much that you can't taste all the other flavours - perfect. The apple strudel was wonderful, I chose vanilla creme with it (similar to custard) which made it decadent & it was the best strudel I had in Vienna.

    It was a very crowded restaurant, we were sitting outside as there was a sitting area there. We ordered gnocchi paata and risotto. I would not say that food was that delicious hut we were hungry, ao we ate it, it could be better. Service was good, friendly staff. Cause it is located in the middle of town there are always packed with guests. They are probably better in pastries and coffees than serving Italian dishes.

    If you are in Vienna, definitely go here. The food is so good. We didn't expect so much and the prices are very good. This service, this flavor and this price... The place is a price performance place. It's a pretty big place. We had salmon pasta, mushroom rizotto and steak, all very good. The staff is very sweet and attentive. The place is very crowded. But it is possible to find a seat. Maybe you have to wait a little bit. You should definitely go here.

    I had a wonderful time at this cafe in Vienna's center. It was bustling with people, but that added to the charm. Take into account that you might wait a while to be seated due to the crowds, but it is worth it. The atmosphere was very inviting, and the service was top-notch.

    It's the view for me! Absolutely stunning 😍 The food is good, the staff is very professional and the prices are in the normal range for Vienna. Sadly when we asked the waiter for reservations, she said it was not possible. But for the amound of people crossing the main streets of Vienna everyday, I think it's pretty normal.

    It was our first meal in Vienna after arriving late the night before. Our server was very friendly and made great menu recommendations. The food was just what we hoped for. Side note the Manager knew we were looking for sightseeing and restaurant suggestions. He sat with us for ten minutes and have us so many great tips. He also pointed us in a dinner direction that we listened to and were so grateful for. Great food, perfectly central location and a very hospitable staff makes this place a must.

    Great café located at the heart of Vienna. Sitting outside gives a partial view to the cathedral and the busy streets. The waiters are really nice and very friendly. The menu has a geat variety of tasty dishes, drinks and ice cream.

    Amazing food! Nice waiter. It was a bit tight because the tables were so close to each other, but overall I recommend.

  • 5/5 Άγγελος Σωτήρης �. 11 months ago on Google
    We order pasta ice cream nutella, coffee and sprite. The place is very nice and the service was perfect. The toilets was clean and you will found them in the basement. When you order sprite coffee and maybe something like soft drink they give you a glass of water

    After arriving in Vienna we wanted to eat a good schnitzel and that’s what we got here. The food was delicious. Service was very good. I definietly recommend this place!

  • 5/5 Stephanie A. 11 months ago on Google
    Due to the location, we assumed that this place would be just an overpriced tourist trap but we were so surprised! Our server was friendly and personable and even moved us to a better table without being asked. The desserts were absolutely massive but perfect as we were craving something sweet. An excellent place for people watching.

  • 5/5 Amy I. 1 year ago on Google
    One of our fave restaurants in the city! I love the fact that you can order whatever in the menu for breakfast! It is very tricky to find a place like this, where mostly breakfast choice is only bread or muesli. So mostly we order various dishes from omelette, sandwich, up to pasta, and ice cream. Service is very good! Professional but not over friendly.

    Good address for a quick lunch and a cocktail, nice staff, prices are ok, a bit noisy place but fine. The club sandwiche was really good.

  • 5/5 Ioannis K. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice cafe near to the main cathedral of the city (Saint Stefan). Nice cafe and breakfast. If you want a break after or before the visit of the cathedral it is a nice choice. You can also sit outside and there are warm machines to keep the temperature pleasant.

  • 5/5 Sofia B. 1 year ago on Google
    The location is amazing and there is a really nice view from the second floor of the cafe. The staff was helpful and accommodating. The service was really fast and the food was delicious.

  • 5/5 Hamish K. 1 year ago on Google
    Late night craving for something sweet resulted in tiramisu, mint tea and a coffee . Note, it's not exactly warm and ambient inside, but the food and number of people coming in / out speaks for itself. Waiters were very accommodating and polite ...

  • 5/5 דודו R. 1 year ago on Google
    A warm and pleasant place in the center of the old city, very clean. Friendly and fast staff. Excellent cheesecake

  • 5/5 Sandra A. 2 years ago on Google
    Great viennese snitzel with potato salad as a side dish, the salad is made with balsamic vinegar that adds to the dish. All down with a good beer

  • 4/5 Eleonora K. 1 year ago on Google
    The coffee is delicious but the atmosphere isn’t pleasant. It is way too busy for you to enjoy the stay. The constant traffic of people makes you feel like you need to rush. The staff is very polite though

  • 1/5 Roman L. 2 years ago on Google
    Very bad. I ordered one beer and toast only. I waited a long time for the waiter to order. 15 minutes later I got my beer. I finished drinking beer and I never got a toast. I would understand if the hall was busy with people, but there were very few customers. Very bad service.

  • 5/5 Alexandru P. 1 year ago on Google
    very good food, especially the budget. very good staff. we dined upstairs on the 1st floor and the location looked very nice. I recommend 👍

  • 5/5 Helen B. 1 year ago on Google
    Simply amazing. It’s the best cafe in the centre of Vienna, and has become our go-to place. Everything here is so efficient and fresh. Will be back here to try their dessert.

  • 5/5 Kat 2 months ago on Google • 1 review New
    The staff was very nice and the service was great and fast. They offer a variety of dishes, but they specialize mostly in desserts. And it's delicious! The desserts are tasty and aesthetically pleasing. Very good for its price. :-) My only complaint is that it does feel a little cramped but overall an amazing cafe. Thank you!
